1961 Season Report

Phil Hill won the 1961 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Ferrari, finishing on 34 points, 1 clear of Wolfgang von Trips. Hill won 2 races that season.

Ferrari took the Constructors' Championship with 45 points, 10 ahead of Lotus-Climax.

5 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 17 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
